If you can't take a holiday next Summer, put on a romantic sunset print or a harbor image and dream away. Look for scenic prints appearing on both menswear and womenswear next Spring and Summer covering all aspects of the earth from land to sea.

Abstracted florals show a big presence on the Resort 11 runways. Scale varies, from oversized to small-scale that becomes textural. This type of prints tends to feel modern and sophisticated, feminine without being sweet or girly.

Resort 11: Dots

Above are some fun dot interpretations. Our favorites from New York are Diane Von Furstenberg and Zero + Maria Cornejo's dots. The large scale feels fresh and clean this season.

Resort 11: Textures

On the Resort 11 runways, one of the biggest trends we're seeing is a prevalance of small-scale textures with hints of floral or scenic imagery. It's a nice abstracted update to the ditsy florals that have been all over women's wear and accessories for the last few seasons.
